plenty of other green food, if these succu- 
lent foods are plentiful and cheap it will 
pay well to use some of them in the poul- 
try rations. 
If we expect our egg machines to pro- 
duce eggs, we must feed into them egg 
material in proper quantities. You had 
just as well expect woolen machinery to 
produce woolen cloth when cotton is fed 
into it as to expect egg machines to pro- 
duce eggs when fed on non-egg-producing 
food. 
There is another thing that must be
